Titanium foam builds Wolverine bones

I can see the airline scanners now...... What would be any different that the present situation for anyone with say, artificial hips? My wife has one. Every trip back to Australia, she's gotten a royal inspection at SFO, despite carrying a card identifying her as having a hip replacement on her right side, the side that lights up the detector. Just going to make them work a bit harder... Jon |

Actually, I bet the foam will be almost invisible to those scanners because the eddy currents upon which the scanners depend vary as the square of the diameter of the conductor. So, a fixed amount of metal in a foam is less detectable than the same amount of metal formed into a nice lump. Joe Gwinn |
